초록
Since the advent of structural and generative linguistics in the 20th century, traditional school grammar has been attacked as being inadequate, illegitimate, and useless (Haussamen, 2000). Nevertheless, this traditional grammar has remained the basis for grammar instruction worldwide and is still being used as the primary method of English grammar instruction in Korea’s EFL classrooms. Recently, there have been hot debates on the integration of generative linguistics as a supplementary resource for grammar instruction (Bae, 2003; Kolln & Hancock, 2005; Park, 2009). This paper examines the perceptual pattern of SVOC constructions, an equivalent to the 5th predicate form in Onions (1932, 1971), through the survey among college students. The findings of the survey reveal that the analysis of those constructions within the traditional school grammar runs counter to the subjects’ perceptual pattern of them. Rather, it conforms to the analysis within the generative linguistic paradigm. I accordingly suggest the integration of some important concepts of generative linguistics within the main syllabus of traditional school grammar
Abstract
Since the advent of structural and generative linguistics in the 20th century, traditional school grammar has been attacked as being inadequate, illegitimate, and useless (Haussamen, 2000). Nevertheless, this traditional grammar has remained the basis for grammar instruction worldwide and is still being used as the primary method of English grammar instruction in Korea’s EFL classrooms. Recently, there have been hot debates on the integration of generative linguistics as a supplementary resource for grammar instruction (Bae, 2003; Kolln & Hancock, 2005; Park, 2009). This paper examines the perceptual pattern of SVOC constructions, an equivalent to the 5th predicate form in Onions (1932, 1971), through the survey among college students. The findings of the survey reveal that the analysis of those constructions within the traditional school grammar runs counter to the subjects’ perceptual pattern of them. Rather, it conforms to the analysis within the generative linguistic paradigm. I accordingly suggest the integration of some important concepts of generative linguistics within the main syllabus of traditional school grammar
